Available for purchase February 15th. CLICK HERE for further product details.Amy Sheffer is featuring Glorious Globes: Basics + Glorious Globes: February + Shape Shifters: Circle 1

Amy’s first card is masculine while still feeling casual and fun. She grounded her focal point by doing a bit of creative sponging and it looks absolutely perfect. The soft diamonds in the background make a splendid subtle backdrop for her scene – almost like understated wallpaper in a den.

On this card, Amy went a decidedly feminine direction. The clusters of felt flowers and die cut leaves are stunning with the stamped floral globes! And again, grounding her focal point with a sponged base worked beautifully. The addition of the speckles is just right.

The bold and modern palette of Amy’s last card is absolutely wonderful. The metallics really pop against the striking color scheme. Using the Shape Shifter circle as the focal point is a great way to incorporate loads of marvelous texture and interest.

Melissa chose a soft, soothing color palette for her first card of the day. She left all of the negative pieces in the spaces of the Celtic Knots frame so she was able to accentuate the details without having to struggle to hide adhesive. She also layered patterned vellum over colored cardstock to mellow the color a tad while adding a bit of interest with the pattern. Very elegant!

Using tags as focal points is something that Melissa does incredibly well and this card is no exception. She used two different sizes in order to incorporate a mat of patterned paper. Repeating the focal point in softer colors in the background is such a lovely way to bolster the theme without being too matchy.

Supplies:

STAMPS: Lilies of the Field, Words to Live by: Kindness, Garden of Faith

DIES: Lilies of the Field, Words to Live by : Kindness, Scalloped Tags

OTHER: Patterned paper, button, trim

Isn’t the lily on Melissa’s tag just so very cheerful? The yellows and oranges are such uplifting colors, ideal for a thank you project! Melissa also created one of her famous “junk bows” and it adds such dimension to her project, wouldn’t you agree?

Finally! I feel like I have been asking for globes forever. While I’m not overly excited about the flowers for Feb. I am excited to see all the additions throughout the year. I’m sure a number of them will have to come live here!

I love the direction you have taken over the past year with these mini set series and am thrilled to see them continue. I feel like I am getting a lot for my craft money; for that I thank you. Great designs. Betsy, you’ve knocked it out of the park with these lilies. They’ll become a go to for certain.

The globes will make for some really unique cards. Looking forward to seeing each month’s addition. The projects with the Lilies of the Field set are beautiful, especially Betsy’s! Excited about the new sentiment set too.

I love the beautiful lillies & look forward to using them on my cards. I also love the new series, Words to Live By & the Shape Shifters. This is going to be another great release as always! Thank you!

Those little floral globes were such a delightful yet unexpected surprise! They are just the cutest. And, wow, on the shape shifters. Goodness, the choices are going to be so plentiful this year. How is a girl to decide?

Each day I marvel at all of the new designs, stamps, dies…don’t know how you manage to consistently create new goodies every month. Fabulous team, ideas, tips, designs, cards…and…I want to buy it all. The glorious globes are soooo clever. I love them and the zillion ways to use them. The shape shifting dies are going to be a great addition. The lilies…gorgeous. Thanks for another inspiring day of releases.

I love globes, and have admired all the gorgeous altered ones out there over the years. How fun to be able to craft my own masterpieces with just a few stamps! Really excited about Betsy’s new shape shifter dies as well.

Oh my! Today’s new featured products will most certainly take my cards to a new level. The Shape Shifters: Circle 1 is just perfect for grouping images. I will use it so often! What a perfect way to begin the WTLB series! Kindness is one of my most treasured words. The lilies transport me to my cottage gardens, on a late June day, where they bloom in abundance. The globes appeal to my sense of wanderlust and concern about our fragile world. The wonderful Papertrey Ink team is speaking to my heart. Celebrating kindred spirits as we craft a global community of kind, caring card makers! ?

Those globes are so cool and will be great for graduation cards, too. Shape Shifters sound awesome and can’t wait to see more. Who doesn’t like lilies and of course, words of kindness? The DT just blows me away as I wonder how they continually come up with such unique color combos and gorgeous creations every. single. time!

Love the globes – very unique! Haven’t seen another stamp set like that one. And the lilies are lovely – I can imagine them in all sorts of colors. The designers really did a wonderful job with their inspiration projects! Thank you for the chance to win!!

Yippee for Shape Shifters-love the circle shapes & how everyone used them! Looking forward to seeing the new series Words to Live By-love this idea. Great job design team-I’m making a huge wish list already!

I am really liking the Kindness set. It is such a soft encouraging word that I want to keep in my thoughts. And everything in todays post looks like delightful fun to work with: the globes, lillies, Shape Shifters, and the hints of more to come.

I don’t think I would ever touch a globe set, but out of the cards above they are my favourite. I just love the flowers in them. What a great idea! And now to decide what colour combo I want to make for the challenge.

Love the lilies, that is one flower I don’t have and will be happy to add it to my collection. The little globes are so cute! I can think of tons of ways to use them! This release just gets better and better!

When I first saw the sneak peek of Glorious Globes, my first reaction was, not for me. Now I’ve seen some of the design team projects, I’ve had to change my mind! (Don’t judge a book by it’s cover springs to mind). And it has New Zealand included on the map too!

I love all the new stamps and dies shown today – no surprise, really. It has been wonderful to see all the creativity shown by the DT.
They sure have been working overtime. Thanks for all the beauty, and for the chance to win a gift certificate!

So many fun and glorious ways to use the GLORIOUS GLOBES stamp set! I love the sponging technique in Amy’s card to “hold” the stamped card elements, and the delicate diamond background she created. Simple details make a big difference!
